About this study

The study will evaluate the performance of measuring respiration rate with the Respiratory Acoustic Monitoring (RAM).

Read the detailed description

The study seeks to determine the reliability and accuracy of the acoustic respiratory monitoring (RAM) in comparison of clinically completed transthoracic impedance monitoring (TI) and manual counting of respiratory rate in postoperative pediatric patients at risk of adverse respiratory events.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Reliability/ Accuracy of Respiratory Acoustic Monitoring (RAM)

    The respiratory acoustic monitor records three vital signs: Respiration rate recorded in breaths per minute, oxygen saturation recorded in percentage, and heart rate recorded in beats per minute.

    The reliability and accuracy of the respiratory data collected by the RAM was examined by comparing to data collected clinically by the manual counting of the respiratory rate and by the respiratory rate measure by transthoracic impedance . The accuracy of RAM was examined when a staff member goes and register these measurements that occur simultaneously during the first minute of every 2 hour interval to a maximum of a 24 hour monitoring time.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Presence of False Alarms

    To evaluate the presence of false alarms, bedside clinical monitoring was done every two hour during 5 to 15 minutes (random sample) recording the respiratory rates and evaluating the presence of alarms. If an alarm was activated during the bedside monitoring, it was verified by the investigator if the respiratory rate provided by the device was consistent with the clinical evaluation. False alarms were considered those alarms that are triggered by the device, but during simultaneous clinical evaluation it was verified that the number of breaths per minute were inaccurate. Therefore, the higher number of false alarms detected by one type of monitoring indicates that the device is less reliable detecting the respiratory rate.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  2. Tolerance of the RAM

    The tolerance is defined as the ratio of the time the sensor stays in place divided by the total expected time of monitoring, expressed as a percentage. The tolerance to the transthoracic impedance pads was not evaluated during this study considering that this is the standard monitoring and that is usually tolerated during the total expected time of monitoring.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Respiratory Acoustic Monitor in people with Respiratory Complications and Pediatric, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Oct 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reliability/ Accuracy of Respiratory Acoustic Monitoring (RAM) (time frame: Up to 24 hours after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02256384, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Oct 2020.
